Looking for a boat to cross the Atlantic ocean
Hola to you all, I’m Vince, 27, originally from Germany, and I’m looking for a crossing from Europe to America.
I’m a positive and easily excited person who loves the life and looks forward to experience and learn as much as I can in the short time we have ?
Next to that I’m very easy, flexible, respectful and very low maintenance in general, as people told me. As mentioned before I’m very eager to learn new things and have no problem to work hard for that.
Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of sailing experience yet. But I’ve built a small sailing boat on the Philippines with which I’ve done around 200 kilometres. Now I’m looking forward to get more into sailing, that’s why I’m looking for a possibility for a crossing.
I can cook relatively well, meaning I very good at improvising meals or cooking after a recipe, and also I’m pretty good at technical things, and I also learn very fast.
As of my previous experience on the Philippines I’ve learnt that I’m clear headed and can handle critical situations quite well. I’m also very into freediving and spearfishing, which might help to get a nice meals from time to time ? Also one of my favourite hobbies is Parkour, so I’m quite agile and have no problem to move around a boat ?
Despite my previous mentioned skills I can be very ambitious when I’ve put something into my head. That means I really want to make this experience to cross the Atlantic, so I’m really up to work and learn hard during this time!
Next to German I also speak English fluently and a bit of Spanish (which I’m trying to improve right now as much as I can).
I’ll be going to Barcelona on the 10th of November. From there the current plan is to go to Gibraltar, but I’m completely flexible to come to any other place around south western Europe.
So I’m looking either for a crossing directly from south western Europe to America (South, Central, I don’t care) or firstly to the Canary Islands and then further across the Atlantic.
I also don’t have a problem to contribute some $. But I’m not looking for a tourist crossing, I don’t want to have anyone to do all the things for me. My main thrive to do this is to learn more about sailing and living on the sea, as I’m thinking about maybe getting a sailing boat by myself sometimes in the future.
I’d really looking forward to any responses, and of course an awesome lifetime experience! ??
Best regards and hope to see you soon
Vince
